I hope I am wrong and all those opposed to Walmart are right in looking for another purpose for the land Walmart tried to wrench from the hands of the city of Green Bay.

I hope when the tax bills come in to cover the purchase of the property by the city, the NIMBYs won't object to shelling out for an empty lot and an eyesore they call historical (it's an ugly old factory).

I hope they won't object to spending even more tax dollars cleaning up the site before any other tenant will even consider moving in, and I hope they won't object to paying some other tenant to help finance another project that will sit on hold for years.

They did it in Denmark when Walmart wanted a distribution center there. Drive down U.S. 151 near Beaver Dam and take a look. Contact the city of Beaver Dam and ask them how many jobs Denmark sent their way. Then, when your next tax bill comes, or you have to drive by that ugly vacant factory and empty lot, whisper a little prayer of thanks to the NIMBYs.
